http://dcs.ics.forth.gr/Activities/papers/2006.CMS .enhanced-captchas.pdf is a pretty nice proposal regarding the issue. It wasn't developed with the idea of an 'easier' captcha test in mind, though. You can see an implementation of it here http://www.honeyathome.org/captcha.php 2c

Well, it's certainly looking at it....
"Reliability modelling for long term digital preservation" : http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/publications/paperlink /Reliability%20modelling.pdf.
In case you're too lazy to read the document it specifically talks about keeping a digital archive intact (in terms of hardware failure) over more than 1000 years. I'll grant you that this doesn't look at the format used to store information but use of well documented (open) formats makes life easier.

Apparently it is already possible to automatically rebuild the motion of a video camera from a simple AVI clip. Maybe the same can be used to regenerate the filmed 3d structure of the object knowing the motion of the camera.

These guys are pretty inefficient or they wrote a bunch of software from scratch.

This is basically a classic close range photogrammetry problem. In fact even easier than that, a tapestry is essentially a "flat" scene (think throwing a bunch of kitchen utensils in a pile on the floor and constructing a scene out of it which is more typical of this type of problem. Or photographing the inside of a chemical plant and reconstructing accurate blueprints).

At work we can process 50GB worth of aerial mosaics per person per day using a specialization of a custom close range photogrammetry solution.

These guys have a bundle adjustment which could be used to adequately solve the necessary equations for and instructions for recontructing the tapestry: http://www.ics.forth.gr/~lourakis/sba

Sorry, couldn't format it because of Slashdot's fucking filters.
